From the history of Bryansk

Bryansk is rightfully proud of its more than thousand-year history. It was first mentioned in the chronicles of 1146 as Debryansk. The name comes from the word “wilds” and is explained by the fact that its territory was surrounded by impenetrable forests, in which, according to legend, the Nightingale the Robber lived.

Bryansk is a city with a difficult fate. He had to survive the Mongol-Tatar raids, fires, and the consequences of the struggle for power. The following events are particularly significant:

• September 1943 – liberated from the occupiers;
• July 1944 becomes the center of the newly formed Bryansk region;

Its two left tributaries - Snezhet and Bolva - create natural borders for three districts of the city: Fokinsky, Bezhitsky and Volodarsky. Another district - Sovetsky - is located on the steep right bank of the Desna. Looking at a map of Bryansk from a satellite, you can see what this city looks like from space.

The left bank of the Desna is a gently sloping lowland, the relief of the right is represented by small ravines and hills. The city is surrounded by dense forests, the area of ​​which is more than 10,000 square kilometers. They are inhabited by various species of animals and plants.

In autumn and spring, unstable weather with sharp temperature fluctuations prevails, which is explained by the proximity of Bryansk to the paths of movement of anticyclones and cyclones.

Climatic features of the city

Compared to many large settlements, Bryansk has a clear division into seasons in terms of climate. In addition, the air here is so clean and fresh that residents of other cities are very surprised when they arrive in Bryansk. And all this despite the fact that industry is well developed in Bryansk. This settlement is the center of various sanatoriums and recreation centers in the region. The reason for this is the wooded area.

The population of Bryansk districts with children strives to be closer to the Volodarsky district. This area of ​​the city is considered the cleanest. There is less exhaust gas here. The only negative is the close proximity to the city dump. The city authorities have been thinking about building a waste treatment plant for a long time, but this issue still remains unresolved.

The weather here is changeable: although summer and winter keep their boundaries quite clearly, thunderstorms often occur in the spring and it can be windy. And yet, Bryansk is still popular, whose population loves their city for its cleanliness and freshness.

What is the connection between Chernobyl and Bryansk?

Few people know what happened in the city after the Chernobyl disaster. For a long time, authorities informed citizens that the radiation cloud had passed by Bryansk and the region. But the events immediately after the incident leave no doubt: all the people who were trying to travel towards Kaluga at that time had their gifts taken away, their cars were thoroughly washed several times, and they very meticulously inquired about where exactly and for what purpose the citizen was going.

Given the lack of trust in local city clocks equipped with a dosimeter, it is unknown whether background radiation is high in a populated area. This is the reason for constant recommendations to the local population to undergo fluorography of the thyroid gland annually.

Only towards the end of the 20th century did this source begin to slowly run out.
